What's do you guy's recommend for a tent gun or carry gun. I'am sure it's been talked about a hundred times, would you pick a short barrel or the longer for better distance? Or do you just rely on your rifle.

Kinda depends on what you are protecting yourself against. If it's for bear then your rifle would be the best option, but a .44 would work. If it's predators of the two-legged kind you fear than a .40, .357, would be sufficient. I would carry a mid-sized firearm, not too bulky but still accurate enough to get the job done. Just my opinion.Former A.F Staff Sergeant

Tent
Unless you are in a large wall tent, try swinging a rifle around in a two or four man tent with a bear outside and your buddy screaming like a school girl. The biggest cal handgun with the most capacity, that you can handle and shoot well. Tritium sights, laser sights or mounted flash light, not a bad idea either. .02.

I started with a Blackhawk 357, then a Blackhawk 45, and now have a S&W 460V. I felt safe all over the lower 48 with the 357 but when I moved to Alaska I felt under gunned so went to the 45. Last summer with all the bear stuff I started looking for a 454 to up the anti and sleep a bit better and found that the 460V will shoot 45 and 454 as well as the huge 460 Mag. That was the selling point to me and I love it and plan to hunt with it also this year.
One other thing I do is use a lanyard loop in the bottom of the grip to tie a lanyard to my wrist with about 2 foot of slack. This way if the tent is collapsed by a bear I have some chance to drag the gun to me instead of wondering where it may have went inside the tent. I sleep better knowing I have that little cord keeping the gun with me.

If I am carrying CC then smaller and easier to move in and out of the truck with - J frame .38 is fine.
If open carry then the old 5.5 redhawk is fine.
If I was to want to use a pistol for distance work then a longer barrel would be called for. However, the redhawk is good to 50 yards if I practice enough so I am covered.
If walk in hunting then the rifle and the .22 MarkII if I know I could get some birds in the area.

But then it dawned on me that just the report from that inside the tent would surely discourage even the meanest critter in Alaska!
Don’t forget to sleep with your hearing protection on though.:eek:Andy
